First Pro-Motive R1 Mini in the USA - drive around

[Striped63]

Did you ship this kit out of the UK or can it be purchased locally (in the US)? 

[MonteBusa]

@Striped63 The kit was from the UK, along with probably 70% of the rest of the parts used to build it - the car shell that it was built on was from New Zealand...

Prity cool dude! try clutchless changes on slight uplift of the throttle or get a quickshift like me ;-p

[MonteBusa]

I was doing a bit of that, but still need to get used to it. I have a flatshifter on my racer...

[MinisDirect]

Yes i have an inline electronic quickshift. at first i thought you had padels.

I have thought about the gopro but im just going to use my camcorder & make an internal cage grip then a suction cup for out side! very nice minibin m8y!

[MonteBusa]

I tried to use a mini DVD camcorder and the thing wouldn't record due to the vibrations - even with a rubber suction cup mounted Hama mount...

[MonteBusa]

OK, someone give me a comment!

very nice. Like the camera view.

[MonteBusa]

Thanks...was an experiment with a cheap camera - I'm thinking of getting a GoPro Hero Wideangle this springs if I can find a good deal...

i just use a cam corder and a tripod cable tied down through the back seat. I dont have a flat shifter but do use clutchless gear changes when on track. Check out my videos ive done.
